Overall in chicken form I have 283 hit, which is more than enough if I've got a spriest in the raid. Apparently most moonkins aim for about 265 hit.
Also because I always placed a large emphasis on spell power in my resto druid weightings I think the gear is quite matched up.
I'm going to keep tinkering and searching but will let you know how it goes!I’m pretty lucky, I picked up quite a few hit pieces in Naxx 25 that have been collecting dust in the bank.

My main issue at the moment is getting enough hit. At the moment my DPS drops off significantly because I'm missing too often. Elitist jerks as always is a nice source of information. The URL below has some great introductory information:

The stat priority is:
Hit rating > Spellpower > Haste rating > Crit rating > Intellect > Spirit.
These figures give a pretty base for evaluating gear:
Hit rating: 2.0 (until hit capped)
Spellpower: 1.3
Haste rating: 1.2
Crit rating: 0.8
Intellect: 0.5
Spirit: 0.4
A lot of healing gear has good spellpower & haste but has no hit. It also tends to favor spirit over intellect.
So until I reach the cap I'm prioritizing hit gems for my DPS stuff.
I'm actually trying to put together a feral set too but I don't have many pieces yet. At the moment feral is outperforming moonkin by a fair margin. They're nerfing it a little but it should still perform very well even post nerf with the added side benefit of being more viable in PvP.I’ve also been slowly trying to get a decent DPS set for my chicken.
